So I've randomly been digging into all the new anime lately. Well, not all of it. But more than I usually do. Usually I stick to maybe one series... but I've actually downloaded and tried a few this season. Such as: Mnemosyne, Vampire Knight, Kure-nai, Soul Eater, Junjo Romantica, and the ever popular Code Geass R2. I'm not sure if I should really sit here and talk about each one though -.-... oh well.
Mneymosyne is really odd. It's almost a bit too much for me, but if you ignore all the weird and creepy and somewhat disturbing things its actually really really really good. I've only watched the first episode though, although I have up to 3 downloaded. It's an OVA so its longer episodes but they only release like once a month.
Vampire Knight... well, it's alright. It kind of strikes me as one of those shows where they focus sooo much on the color that they kind of shirk on the fluidity. But with the growing impressiveness of computerized things even the nonfluidity is scarce. There was just something about it though that seemed odd.... I can't quite put my finger on it.
Kure-nai... is unexpectedly really good. At first, when hearing a generalization of the plot: aka - boy with super body surrounded by beautiful women and a random 7yearold - you're bound to think, "Ugh! I'm not watching another stupid, whiny, emo harem anime!" But... it's not like that at all. o_o The boy isn't whiny and emo (well he's a bit whiny but not the bad whiny...), he's just a normal 16 year old living on his own with a relatively normal personality. He has some kind of special body, but you don't know what or how or why. And his new assignment is to safeguard a 7yearold girl from her evil cult family. And no, the seven year old isn't portrayed in a cutesy kind of... bad hentai way, if you know what I mean. >_>; Anyway. The art is kinda wishywashy sometimes, but its fluid and the action scenes are great. So... I like it.
Soul Eater. What to say about this show? The art is SO ... off. To me anyway. It's like a mix between animaniacs, One Piece, and Full Metal Alchemist. I mean, the more I watched it the less it bothered me. Maybe. Oh, you know what it kind of looks like? That (stupid) American comic Halloween something. Well, not that bad. But it has a rather similar theme. The plot seems somewhat promising: three groups of Shinigami students are trying to get the ultimate weapon: the death scythe. To do this, the student's weapon-ized partners must swallow 99 'evil' souls and one witch soul. So... who knows. (Honestly I really think what threw me off was the really odd look of the shinigami world...) Anyway. The action sequences were rather amazing, and the fluidity was rather insane. o_o So... It seems promising.
Junjo Romantica... Ah, yaoi. Lol. Anyway, allow me to say I haven't actually watched this subbed yet. I only watched it raw (because it takes those fansubbers forever apparently :x) . Nevertheless, having read the manga before I wasn't totally bereft over what was going on. I just assumed. And it was SO CUTE. >_< Definitely one of the best yaoi. The art was great (and kept true to the great style of the manga), the voice acting was great, and.. all the random duckies and teddy bears were just adorable. But I'm going to watch it again once the subbed one comes out. >_> I'm watchin for it.
Last but DEFINITELY not least, Code Geass R2. I dunno about you people, but I have been DYING for this to come out. (What am I talking about? No one but maybe two people will actually read this >.> ... ) Anyway. I'm not really sure if I can make a safe assumption of it yet. I might need to wait till I see more episodes. (Which I should probably do with all of these... but hey <.< ) But honestly... parts of it left me slightly miffed. Why was his fucking memory gone? (Although I can assume...) And wtf is up with Rollo? (Although I can assume that too...) There was just all this random new stuff, and although its easy to assume where it came from and what its purpose is... you're still like 'wtf'. In my case anyway. Nevertheless!!! ... Still completely awesome.
phew. That was fun. Probably unnecessary, but fun. So, now I'm sure you're all dying to hear about the formal, hm? Probably not. Oh well. I'll blather on about that too.
So. Formal. Yeah.
I dressed up in my homecoming dress from last year (hey, I'm cheap... >.>) and straightened my hair out and did makeup and all that stuff. I was a dd, but I somehow ended up only really driving myself and Elizabeth (my roommate).
Anyway. At first... it was pretty freaking boring. I sat there for like an hour or more. Everyone else like... got up and danced to slow songs and stuff. Once, there was a song that like had a specific dance to it ( I can't remember what...) so we were all out on the dance floor doing that (except I was just kind of standing there awkwardly). And afterwards a slow song came on so everyone coupled up. Obviously, I wasn't coupling so I started heading back to the table, and this guy (Tyler) ... (who is rather rotund and I don't like him.... if you ever met him and heard the way he talks about girls youd understand.) anyway. He saw that I was the only girl left so he was like "Come on E..." so I kept saying no and he kept bothering me so I literally ran back to my table and sat down. -.-; I felt kinda bad for running away but... oh well.
That same dance though, since there were randomly extra guys, Si and Cameron went up there and danced for like two seconds before it got really awkward and they sat back down. XD That was hilarious.
We took some pictures and stuff. If I feel like it I might put some on here later. So after a while of standing there doing nothing, this guy Nathan ( whos pretty creepy ish too...) ...
[ Ok. Time for a random side story. Nathan is the guy who, last semester, was mentioning how in one of his classes they discussed how women don't leave anything to the imagination anymore with how they dress. Then, he looked at me (as i'm always wearing jeans and a tshirt), and said "Oh, well sure leave everything to the imagination don't you? Here, let me undress you with my eyes." ........ Yeah. ]
... so Nathan comes and talks to me and asks "So, do you dance?" I said, "Well, not very well. But I can make a fool of myself good enough." So he continues to tell me that a girl friend of his brought a guy who doesn't know anyone and kind of ditched him. So he pointed out this random dude sitting at a table alone, and asked if I would dance with him. I told him to go bring the guy over here and he could talk with our group and stuff so he wouldn't be alone, and if he really did want to dance then he could ask me himself. I mean... really? So then Nathan left and I didn't see either him or the random guy at the table the rest of the night. I think it was either a lie, a joke, or a ploy. Either which way.... I don't appreciate it.
Anyway. So I decided to go around and talk to some professors and stuff that were there. I said hi to Dr. Stave first. She looked really cool cause she had her hair all pinned up and stuff. Anyway, her husband Richard was there, so I said hi to him too. And he gave me like a half-hug, so I half-hugged back and then he kissed me on the cheek. >.> I realize it was like a greeting-kiss but I was so taken aback I was like, "Uh.... do I kiss you back? I'm confused..." ( I didn't say that, it was what was going through my head.) So anyway. That was fun.
Then later I saw Dr. Jensen (my gay tnt professor whos really nice) so I went to say hi. And... well. I'm pretty sure he was somewhat gone. If you know what I mean. >.> So I said hi, and we were talking about TnT, and he just stops in the middle of our conversation and is like, "BY the way Elizabeth, that gown is just gorgeous! You get three whole stars, if not FIVE!" First of all, he said 'gown'. Second of all, what happened to four? o_o I mean... this way I'm either mediocre or super. xD ... I know he didn't mean it that way though. >.>;
Well Matt came over with his harem and started interrupting our conversation, so I looked at Jensen and said, "He's drunk." (meaning matt...) And Matt kept arguing that he wasn't, so when I said he was drunk again Matt goes, "Oh yeah? Well... why don't you just ... take a picture with Jensen or something!?" So Jensen goes, "Ok!<3" and grabs me in a hug for a picture. ._. ... I really want a copy of that picture. >.> So I can take it to class Tuesday and be like "Do you even remember this Jensen?" -.-; But I haven't gotten one yet.
Anyway. Then Jensen took a picture of Matt and his harem, then Matt like almost fell over so I said he was drunk again. But this time, he was like " I... AM ... NOT ... DRUNK!" And threw his arms out to emphasize. But when he did, he hit Dr. Stave's husband who was walking by, and knocked his wine all over Mr. Richard and me. -_- Well. It really only got on my legs, but it got all over Dr. Stave's husband's shirt. Luckily it was white wine though.
Oh, and I saw Dr. Schiketanz (my German Professor) near the beginning of the dance and when I said hi to him, he had these happy face glasses on, so I said "I like your glasses." And he just goes, "Yes. I am a 'happy' German." in this really ... bland voice. o_o I was like "....oh." I didn't really get it but still. >.> ...
Lets see... what else happened. A bunch of guys went and suddenly surrounded our Dean, Miss Davina, and started doing the rap hump move on her. >.> That was awkward. She enjoyed it though. I guess. Maybe. She was pretty gone too. <_<; Sort of. Oh, and Jeremy brought his boyfriend, and that was cute. Except when they started groping each other on the dance floor. Then it was like LOOK-AWAY ~<_<.
Well, eventually I got sick of being bored. And I was sitting with Megan, a girl from my Jane Austen class, so the Cupid Shuffle song came on and we went up and did that. It was fun, but right after a slow song came on. We decided it was pointless to go sit back down just for one song, so we danced together for the slow one. xD But it wasn't slow dancing, we were like twirling around and doing really dramatic stuff. But it was kinda hard because I was literally about a foot and a half taller than her, so I had to duck to twirl under her arm.
After that, it got kind of crazy. I started getting really hyper >_> (thats never a good thing), and we were dancing in a circle of Megan, Me, Zexy, Rachelle, Justin, Michael, Jadda, and Amy. For SOME reason, everyone decided it would be fun to take turns going in the middle and doing a stupid dance move. I didn't want to because I felt awkward enough just bopping to the music as was, but everyone else went so they put me in the middle of the circle and wouldn't let me out till I did something. So I twirled, and they didn't think that was enough.... Sooooooo I definitely attempted something they called a 'pop' or something. They decided it was good and let me back in the circle. -_- hm.
Then the group I had gone with started leaving, but I stayed cause I was actually starting to have fun with these people out on the dance floor. of course Matt and Melissa and their posse came out slightly tipsy and Matt kept falling into the wall and on me, and Melissa kept bumping me. But it was still fun. Then... Thriller came on.
Yes, Thriller. I BEASTED THE THRILLER OK? >_> (Thanks to Dance Crew...) I was a Thriller beast. Mwa ha ha. Anyway. That one was insanely fun. Then everyone else had left so Elizabeth wanted to go back too. So I left with them. When we were walking down front street to my car, Dr. Stave's husband was on the balcony and he was like "Bye Elizabeth!" So I yelled bye back and he goes, "There's no skinny dipping in the river!!!" And I was just like "whut? o_o"
And on the way home, I stated how "I'm a prime example of having fun without drinking!" And Elizabeth was like, "Well, if I wasn't 100% sure that you hadn't drank, I would be questioning." So I explained I was just really hyper. Then she was suddenly like, "And I thought you said you couldn't dance? What the hell was all that then?" .... I can't dance. I don't know what she saw exactly, but I can't. Nuff said.
Anyway. So we came home, and I kinda sorta wanted to try to call Jessica or Van and pretend like I was drunk.... but I wasn't quite sure they would find that as funny as I would so I decided against it. Although, I was still hyper when I was talking to them online, so... I dunno. I probably bugged them. <_< I'm sorry guys! Please don't hate me. ;.;
Anyway. When we were back at the dorms, we went to Mark's room for the 'after party'. That was when everyone started getting really drunk. There was this one girl that just.... omg. I'm not even going into that. We played Captain Dickhead for a while (that is a fun game, but only when people bother to pay attention), but then people started getting too drunk to play so we stopped. Then I kinda got bored again, because everyone was just sitting around yelling at each other. I eventually left.
But, i was told that later Thomas went into the room, and we had noticed at the dance that he was taking video and pictures of girls dancing. And he had of Keedra. So he mentioned it to her, but she was gone drunk ... So she said to him, "Well as long as you don't jack off to it I don't care." ... o_o Yeah. He just kinda... left.
The End. I think?
Oh wait I forgot one of the most important parts. =___= For SOME reason UNBEKNOWEST to me... like 15 people decided to tell me that my boobs looked nice in my dress and that I should show them off more.
....
WTF? What the hell kind of compliment is that?! I mean... I'm sorry the dress was a little lower cut than I remembered but dear god! When I say like 15 people, I'm not exaggerating. It was literally around that many. I'm never wearing anything like that again.
I know most people are supposed to take it as a compliment. One or two people saying that, maybe. Ten to fifteen? No. .... Sigh. =_=
So. Yeah. I think that's it. Otherwise, I've just been wasting time watching DBSK videos and random animes. I got Sophie, Jason, and Cy to watch Samurai X yesteday. Well, we watched the first half. We're going to watch the second half tonight supposedly.
Hm. This is really long. Oh well. I'm probably going home next weekend. There's not really a reason for me to stay here, and I should probably try to start taking some things back. Well, then I can go see the Forbidden Kingdom. I want to see that movie so baaaad. -_-
Well. I have a good bit of homework type things I should probably get to. So I guess I'll go work on those. If you read all of this then... wow. o_o Good job. D:
Much luv. <3
Mneymosyne is really odd. It's almost a bit too much for me, but if you ignore all the weird and creepy and somewhat disturbing things its actually really really really good.
